I don't use any nnmh servers.  My server buffer looks like:

     {nnfolder:archive} (opened)
     {nndir:/home/reader/projects/awk/search-work/monty/} (opened)
     {nnvirtual:^$\|\(^nnml:net1$\)\|\(^nnml:ptw$\)} (opened)
     {nndir:~/spool/ping/} (denied)
     {nndoc:gnus-help} (opened)
     {nndir:~/spool/backup/} (opened)
     {nndraft:} (opened)
     {nnml:} (opened)
     {nntp:enews.newsguy.com} (opened)

However, oddly enough the value requested shows an nnmh directory that
is a directory where I conduct experimental work with search tools I'm
working on.  Not a message directory at all.  And I'm certain I never
created an nnmh group of any kind.

`C-h v' nnmh-directory <RET>

nnmh-directory's value is 
"/home/reader/projects/awk/search-work/"

Documentation:
*Mail spool directory.

Defined in `nnmh'.

So are you saying that the error above is not related to something in
the latest cvs distribution?
